The Artist’s Collection

These works were shown in the exhibition "Solitary Vice" at The Walls Artspace, Miami, Gold Coast in 2020. The follwoing is my artist statement for that show:

Making art is a solitary endeavour for me; away from conversation and domestic distractions. I’ll never be a successful printmaker in the bustle of a print studio. I need solitude to plan, think and dream. The time spent alone in my studio is delicious and indulgent but tinged with guilt that I’m not giving enough attention to other things (relationships, emails, the overgrown garden). The works in Solitary Vice are in my series, The artist’s collection, and arise from an imagined life as a passionate collector of the unusual and mundane. The ecstatic sniff – the artist with her collection of flatus is an homage to the solitary pleasures of an artist.
